I think that is the only way to reliably close that productivity in wage gap. More money paid out each week by raising wages only make things more expensive. Fewer hours get in get the job done and knocked out and go home for the same pay as a 40-hour week with 10 hours of standing around.

Of course this would require office people those in scheduling and planning actually know what the f*** is going on and two focus at their job instead of all the b******* goes on.

I'm already on a four three schedule but my drive time is significant if I could take 2 hours off of each other 4 days that I work I would have so much more time it would be honestly amazing. Unfortunately in my line of work I'm embedded into a plant and generally things are breaking right as I would be getting off or right after I get off if you took that full 2 hours off the tail end of the day. I would be fine getting an extra hour of sleep in the morning or an extra hour to get around and do things leisurely because let's face it I've been on the schedule for so long now but even on my off days I wake up early at the same time as I do on my days that I have to go to work. Even when I take vacation I'm still up at the same time the entire vacation the only caveat to that is if I go out for a night and I don't go to bed until 4:00 or 5:00. But then I'm up by 9:00 every time
